SEO in the AI Era
The rules are changing. Here's what SEO teams are facing:
Traditional SEO Tactics Don't Impact AI
Your Google rankings are great, but AI platforms work differently. They don't crawl in real-time and prioritize different sources.
AI Cites Different Sources Than Google Ranks
The sites ranking #1 on Google aren't necessarily the ones AI platforms cite. You need to know which sources matter to AI.
No Tools for AI Optimization
Ahrefs and SEMrush track Google. Nothing tracks AI visibility. You're optimizing blindly for the fastest-growing discovery channel.
Need to Prove SEO ROI in AI Era
Leadership is asking "Does our SEO strategy work for AI?" You need data to prove your efforts drive AI visibility.
Traditional SEO vs AI Visibility
Similar principles, different execution
| Concept | Traditional SEO | AI Visibility |
|---|---|---|
| Target Platform | Google algorithm | LLM training data |
| Success Metric | Rankings (1-10) | Mention frequency |
| Link Equivalent | Backlinks | Citations |
| Optimization Focus | Keywords | Prompt optimization |
| Authority Metric | Domain authority | Source authority for AI |
| Update Frequency | Real-time crawling | Training data updates |
